Gravel in Milan, TN

Costs vary by material, supplier, and delivery distance, but a full tri-axle load in West Tennessee commonly ranges from about $300 to $800 delivered for common driveway or base gravels. Specialty stone or screened decorative gravels can cost more. Exact pricing depends on material type, load size, and any rural delivery fees, so check your cart or get a quote for a firm price.

A typical tri-axle dump truck that serves Milan carries roughly 10 to 14 tons, which is about 8 to 12 cubic yards, depending on material density. For a common two-car residential driveway (12 ft by 40 ft) at 4 inches depth you will need about 6 cubic yards, roughly 8 tons. Measure your driveway and use our calculator to get a tailored estimate before ordering.

These are approximate coverage values: 1 cubic yard of gravel covers about 324 sq ft at 1", 162 sq ft at 2", and 108 sq ft at 3". 1 ton of gravel (about 0.74 cu yd) covers roughly 240 sq ft at 1", 120 sq ft at 2", and 80 sq ft at 3". Actual coverage depends on stone size and compaction, so round up slightly when calculating for Milan projects.

For West Tennessee's wetter climate we recommend a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone for light residential driveways, plus a 2 to 3 inch wearing layer if using smaller surface stone, totaling about 6 to 8 inches in higher-traffic areas. Parking pads for light passenger vehicles can often be 4 inches compacted, but plan 6 to 8 inches for heavier loads or for clay soils. Proper grading and drainage are equally important to prevent washout during heavy rains.

For driveways and base layers, crushed limestone or 'crusher run' are common choices because they compact well and hold up under traffic. For top surfaces that shed water and provide traction, 3/4" crushed stone or #57 stone is good; pea gravel and river rock are better for decorative beds and paths but are less stable for driveways. For drainage trenches and French drains use clean washed stone (1/2" to 1") to allow good water flow.

Yes, our network of local suppliers commonly serves Milan and surrounding Gibson County communities including Trenton, Bradford, Humboldt, Medina, and adjacent rural routes. Suppliers also run into nearby counties, so many customers in Weakley, Madison, and neighboring areas can get delivery. Enter your zip code at checkout to confirm service and exact delivery options for your property.

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order, which fits most small residential jobs. Many local quarries and landscape yards in the Milan area sell by the cubic yard for pickup, so you can haul small amounts with a trailer or rent a small truck. If you need less than our minimum, check local yard hours and whether they accept walk-in customers for smaller purchases.

Standard delivery lead time is typically 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Many areas see free delivery on qualifying orders, but rural drops, tight access, or long-haul runs can add a fee (commonly $25 to $125 depending on distance and site conditions). Final fees and arrival windows appear at checkout, and we confirm timing before dispatch.

Permitting rules vary by municipality and county. New driveway connections to public roads, culvert work, or projects near right-of-way may require a permit from Milan City Hall or the Gibson County Road Supervisor, so check with local authorities before starting work. For large deliveries to private property there are typically no delivery permits, but confirm any local restrictions for oversized trucks or street obstructions.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading and drivers will only do it if it can be done safely. For consistent placement, grading, and compaction we recommend hiring a local contractor or renting a small skid steer/plate compactor; some suppliers and local crews in the Milan area do offer placement and compaction for an additional fee. Ask our team if you want us to coordinate placement services or recommend local contractors.

For clay or poorly draining sites use a layered approach: install a compacted sub-base of crusher run or crushed stone, add a layer of clean washed stone for drainage, and consider a permeable surface like 3/4" crushed stone on top. Adding a geotextile fabric under the base can reduce mixing with native clay and improve longevity. Proper slope and channels to move water away from structures are essential in West Tennessee's rainy conditions.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
